Definitions
- the present invention relates to a monorail vehicle comprising a cabin for housing a driver, passengers and/or load and one or more driving assemblies, the driving assemblies being suitable for running within a guiding duct on the ground, the cabin being connect to at least one driving assembly by means of an elongated elevation structure.
- the vehicle comprises a side structure for coupling to the rail, which includes a support arm connected to a driving assembly.
- the wheels of the driving assembly move inside a lateral rail structure.
- the rail structure consists of a T-shaped masonry structure, which is elevated with respect to the ground.
- transverse and inclined auxiliary wheels are also foreseen to provide greater balance of the vehicle and prevent it from uncoupling from the rails.
- patent GB 1,367,119 reveals a transportation system in which the cabin of the monorail is permanently elevated by vertical struts. While this known system allows regular vehicles to travel underneath the monorail cabin, occupying only a minor space at ground level, it also avoids fixed elevated masonry structures which require higher costs for construction, and which have a visual impact on the surroundings.
- patent application GB 2,305,645 provides for a type of monorail system which travels underneath a fixed elevated structure of a type already described, but which can be lowered to the level of the ground for embarking and disembarking passengers. This system also provides that the cabin can start to descend shortly before a full stop in order to reduce or eliminate non-vertical acceleration on passengers.
- Non-monorail systems also provide for the variation of elevation of a cabin, such as the vehicles depicted in WO 02/53454 , and German utility models DE 202 09 077 U1 and DE 202 08 510 U1 .
- the cabin is in a certain high during normal transportation and is lowered or elevated only for embarking and disembarking passengers.
- the vehicle occupies a traffic lane, which may entail deterioration of the conditions of flow of other vehicles, aggravating the problem of saturation of traffic in big cities.
- a system in which the monorail vehicle is provided with struts presents the disadvantage that possibly not all of the transportation route is free of obstacles for the elevated vehicle to pass.
- an elevated vehicle poses concerns as to its stability at higher speeds.
- the present invention has the objective of providing a transportation system, especially for large cities, based on the concept of monorail, but that prevents the need for complex civil-engineering works to build suspended ways and that, simultaneously, prevents the occupation of a traffic lane for traffic of the monorail vehicle.
- the invention is characterized in that the elongated elevation structure can be actuated in order to vary the elevation of the cabin with respect to the ground during regular travel of the vehicle.
- the cabin can travel at different elevations, and differently from known Vehicles with variable elevation capacity, the cabin is not intended to be lowered or elevated only for embarking and disembarking passengers, which solution results in particular advantages as it will be explained in further details on the basis of preferred embodiments illustrated in the drawings.
- the vehicle 1 of the present invention basically comprises a cabin 2 and a number of driving assemblies 6, 7 traveling inside a guiding duct 8.
- the cabin may be subdivided into two, three or more articulated sections and with a concertinaed fitting part 3 linking two adjacent sections of the cabin.
- Each driving assembly comprises at least one pair of wheels 7, preferably two or more pairs, and at least one of the assemblies is equipped with a motor 6, preferably an electric motor, for driving the wheels 7.
- the characteristic element of vehicle 1 of the present invention lies in that the vehicle cabin 2 can regularly travel at different elevations.
- the cabin at maximum elevation ( figures 1 and 2 ) the cabin lies at approximately 3,5 meters from ground level.
- the cabin In middle elevation ( figures 3 and 4 ), the cabin lies preferably at approximately 2,8 meters from the ground level.
- the cabin lies approximately at ground level. Otherwise, as depicted in figure 6 , the cabin lies approximately 1 meter above ground level and requires an embarking platform at about the same high.
- a minimum elevation can be used either for embarking/disembarking but is also suitable to areas in which the cabin is not required to travel above regular traffic and thus can travel close to the ground enhancing its stability and allowing the vehicle to travel at higher speeds.
- the lowered position is also suitable to be used in tunnels and viaducts as also depicted in he drawings.
- the variable elevation of the cabin is achieved by means of scissors 4, or any similar articulated structure, in which its two sections are pivoted in the center, at the base of the cabin, where at least one of the sections can slide under the cabin, and at the driving assemblies.
- the scissors 4 can be actuated in order to vary the elevation of the cabin by means of hydraulic or pneumatic pistons 9 in a traditional manner.
- scissors 4 In order to provide the necessary stability to the monorail vehicle to travel in any possible elevation, scissors 4 preferably have double structure as depicted for instance in figures 8 to 10 . It is also obvious for the person skilled in the art that the pistons 9 or any other device for varying the elevation must be appropriately designed to ensure a stable maintenance of the elevation during regular travel conditions.
- Figure 7 shows that the boogies of the scissors are also articulated in the horizontal plane in the driving assemblies, in order to accommodate the relative movement between the driving assemblies and the cabin when the vehicle is traveling in curves.
- Figure 8 shows an embodiment in which horizontal stabilizer wheels 7 are provided in addition to the regular vertical wheels 7.
- the duct is accordingly configured with secondary side ducts to house the horizontal auxiliary wheels.
- the auxiliary wheels may also be inclined and rest against an internal structure in the duct, as described, for example, in US 5,845,581 .
- Figure 9 shows in an schematic way that the connection between the upper ends of the scissors and the bottom of the cabin can be equipped with an active suspension, which inclines the cabin during curves in order at least partly to compensate for lateral acceleration, according to an application already known in some types of trains.
- the vehicle may be equipped with dynamic compensation devices commanded automatically, such as a counterweight displaceable to the side or ballast tanks on both sides, between which a fluid may be pumped so as to rebalance the vehicle.
- dynamic compensation devices commanded automatically, such as a counterweight displaceable to the side or ballast tanks on both sides, between which a fluid may be pumped so as to rebalance the vehicle.
- inertia-disc-type rotary devices to aid in maintaining the stability.
- An alternative to the active suspension relies in providing the ducts with a fixed inclination in curves as depicted in figure 10 .
- Yet another alternative, not illustrated, for inclining the whole composition consists in configuring the driving assembly with vertical wheels arranged in rows and with auxiliary side wheels, the bottom of the duct being provided with a gutter inside which the vertical wheels move.
- the inclination in this case, may be achieved by displacing the gutter fro the center of the duct, like that illustrated in figure 3 of document GB 1,529,060 .
- Figure 11 shows an alternative to a fully build-in duct, in which the duct is fully constructed over the ground level.
- This embodiment may be suitable for stretches in which the vehicle runs over flower-beds, between guard-rails that divide roadways, bridges, or in any other area where the traffic of the monorail vehicle will take place out of public ways, dispensing with the preservation of an traffic area below the monorail vehicle.
- intermediary solutions can be applied, in which the duct is only partially buried in the ground, and partially exposed above it.
- Figure 12 shows an embodiment in which the monorail vehicle is traveling with scissors fully retracted on a duct provided in an elevated structure such as a bridge or a viaduct.
- Figure 13 illustrates another possible embodiment of a passageway for the monorail vehicle, in which the vehicle travels inside a tunnel which can be an existing tunnel or a tunnel built specially for passage of the monorail vehicle. In this situation, the vehicle travels at minimum elevation, therefore allowing the tunnel to be relatively low in terms of internal high.
- the monorail vehicle can also travel in tunnels having regular traffic e.g. of cars and buses, provided the adequate conditions are met.
- the duct 8 is made of a masonry or partly-metallic structure and is preferably totally embedded in the ground. However, as mentioned, an upper part of the duct may project only slightly above the street level and/or comprise a sounding undulating surface to alert the driver of a vehicle that he is passing very close to the area of the monorail vehicle.
- Duct 8 may also consist of a pre-manufactured metallic tube with the dimensions, shape and characteristics suitable for housing the driving assembly and the respective electric conductors, as the case may be.
- the driving assembly 6, 7 is formed by a motor and wheels and is totally contained inside the duct 8.
- the upper part of the duct is closed, except for a slot for passage of the lower portion of the scissors or a linking element between the scissors and the respective driving assembly. As will be described, this slot may be kept closed while the vehicle is not running along the respective stretch of the duct.
- the inside of the duct 8 has its width dimensioned for housing a driving assembly 6, 7 with a width greater than that of the elevation scissors 4 itself.
- the width of the driving assembly 6, 7 is large enough to ensure the necessary lateral stability of the vehicle.
- the driving assembly comprises a motor 6, preferably an inductive electric motor.
- the respective cables and electric connections are provided inside the duct 8.
- the connection between the electric motor and the cables may be made in a conventional way, by means of brushes or other types of connectors, or else by induction without physical contact.
- preference is given to an electric motor it is also possible to use any other type of motor.
- the second driving assembly of one section of the vehicle can be equipped with a set of batteries (not illustrated) instead of a motor, in order to provide power to the electric motor in cases of failure of power supply.
- the same electric current feeding system that feeds the electric motor may also be used - through cables linking the driving assembly to the cabin, passing through the elevation scissors - to feed the pieces of equipment inside the vehicle, such as control panel of the conductor, internal lights and air-conditioning equipment.
- the duct slot through which the elevation scissors 4 or said connecting element passes for connection between the lower portion of the scissors and the respective driving assembly, may be maintained at least partly closed by flaps that open only with the passage of the vehicle.
- flaps that open only with the passage of the vehicle.
- the frontal driving assembly 6, 7 may be provided with an obstacle detector for detecting obstacles of any kind, available on the market, and with a "cowcatcher"-type device to remove or drag debris that may be inside the duct, without causing immediate stoppage of the vehicle.
- the frontal elevation scissor 4 of the vehicle may be equipped with a covering having a width somewhat larger than the scissor itself.
- This covering (not shown) may be linked to the rod by means of shock-absorbers for absorbing impact in the event of a collision with a passer-by, a vehicle or other obstacle.
- the covering may also incorporate a warning light and a sound alert device such as a horn.
- the transportation system of the present invention can operate in connection with elevated platforms for embarkation/disembarkation of passengers and/or loading/unloading. However, as already described, the cabin can be lowered to or close to ground level for this operation.
- the vehicle may have front windshields on the upper part and on the lower part, so that the driver of the vehicle can have a good view of the street immediately ahead and below.
- a further variation within the same concept consists in that, at least in stretches where it is not relevant whether the rail is totally embedded in the ground, the wheel may run above ground level and the rail may be limited to a Y-shaped metallic structure, located between the main wheels and against whose structure the inclined auxiliary wheels rest, as described in US 5,845,581 .
